The latest version of Nvidia Graphics driver for Linux which is Nvidia 340.58
has been released and is available for download. It comes with
plenty of fixes and changes. This article will guide you to install
Nvidia 340.58 in Ubuntu and Linux Mint systems.

Fixes

Fixed a bug that could cause VT-switching to fail following a suspend, resume, and driver reload sequence.

Fixed a bug that caused incorrect colors to be displayed on X screens running at depth 8 on some GPUs.

Fixed a bug that prevented GPUs from being correctly recognized in MetaMode strings when identified by UUID.

Implemented
support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx
option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer. Note that
future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To
re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx
option.

Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config
option. This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol. See
"Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
